ACTIVITY “SIMULATION”
Horizontally
Launched
Projectile
Horizontally Launched
Projectile
No initial vertical
velocity ( Vi)
Downward velocity
(Vy) increases
uniformly due to
gravity (Ay)
Horizontally Launched
Projectile
The horizontal velocity (
Vx) is uniform mean
constant.
Velocity vector (V) at
each point is in the
direction of motion and
thus is tangent to the path
represented by the solid
arrows
Horizontally Launched
Projectile
The horizontal
displacement or range
(x) is the distance
traveled by a projectile
launched horizontally is
dependent on the initial
horizontal velocity and
the time traveled.
Horizontally Launched
Projectile
The vertical
displacement or
height (y) is the
height of original
position from which
the projectile was
launched horizontally.
Kinematics for Projectile
Launched Horizontally
Problem 1
A pool ball leaves a 0.60-meter-high
table with an initial horizontal velocity
of 2.4 m/s. Predict the time required
for the pool ball to fall to the ground
and the range between the table’s
edge and the ball’s landing location.
You Try!
A soccer ball is kicked horizontally of
a 22-meter-high hill and lands 35
meters from the edge of the hill.
Determine the total time traveled and
initial horizontal velocity of the
soccer ball.
Angle Launched Projectile
The horizontal component of velocity (vx) remains
constant due to the absence of horizontal forces.
The vertical components of velocity vector (vy) is
changing.
An upward positive vertical velocity component that is
decreasing in magnitude until it becomes zero at the top of the
trajectory (therefore it no longer goes up any further).
The horizontal displacement or range (x) is the distance
traveled of the projectile launched at an angle within a given
period of time.
The vertical displacement (y) is the height of where the
projectile launched at an angle stays at rest in the air for an
instant before descending.

velocity
